. I
haven't added it to any articles but it's there to use if you want!
It's not much work, but the issue is that the heightmaps tend to not cover
Wales or Scotland, and they tend to cover flood zones, rather than hills.
This makes tracking down high-resolution data of castles/hills (which tend
to be high up) rather difficult. Most of England is covered with 1 metre
resolution though, with 25cm being the best.

I think it should be downloadable as jpegs as well as the underlying data
files. This gives you a visualisation of the landscape, with or without
trees if you want. Very useful for landscapes, and excellent for
archaeological sites which only survive as earthworks.

Forwarding to this list, perhaps someone has some ideas for how we can
make use of the newly released LIDAR data!

Subject: [Talk-GB] Environment Agency LIDAR datasets OGL licensed now
available
To: OSM - Talk GB <talk-gb(a)openstreetmap.org>
Hello,
back in June we had a thread announcing that this LIDAR data was due
to be released. Well some of it has.
https://environmentagency.blog.gov.uk/2015/09/18/laser-surveys-light-up-ope…
http://environment.data.gov.uk/ds/survey#/
I think it's just for England, and appears to be 1m and 2m composite
DTM and 1m and 2m DSM They do intend to release a Tiled version next,
and I think 50cm and 25cm are coming also
What can we do with it?
Cheers,
Tim
